About NorbertMeet & Greet
Norbert
Dogs – Picks his pals carefully
Cats – He'd love a kitty-free castle
Kids – Yes, kiddos 6 and up!
Meet Norbert, a big, handsome grey guy who turns into a full-on seal the second his ears fold back, and you will absolutely catch yourself wanting to toss him a fish. Lucky for you, he's a lot easier to keep than a seal. He's crate trained, and his last family told us he never had a single accident in the house.
He adores people and will lean right in for pets, usually with a sneaky kiss on the cheek. Hellos get him so excited that his manners can't always keep up, but he has a solid foundation and would love an adopter who enjoys keeping his training going with positive methods.
Norbert likes calm, sniffy walks without many other dogs around, so a house in a quieter spot suits him better than apartment life. If you have a pup at home, bring them to HSHC to meet him, and our team will help with the introduction to make sure it's a good fit.
A good chew and a warm spot beside you on the couch is all it takes to make his night. Come say hello at HSHC and see if this big guy earns your seal of approval!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
